Task 7: Plan SNMP Support (Optional)

As an option, network administrators can use the HP EFC Manager application to
configure an SNMP agent that runs on the HP EFC Server. This agent can be configured to
send generic SNMP trap messages to up to 12 recipients (SNMP management
workstations).
Administrators can also use the Product Manager application to configure an SNMP agent
that runs on each director. This agent can be configured to send generic SNMP trap
messages to up to six recipients (SNMP management workstations).
Trap recipients can also access SNMP management information, and may be granted
permission to modify SNMP variables as follows:
• Assign and record director names, contact persons, descriptions, and locations to
configure the directors for SNMP management station access.
• Plan access to the director LAN segment. This segment must connect to the LAN on
which SNMP management workstations are installed.
• Obtain IP addresses and SNMP community names for management workstations that
have access to directors.
• Determine which (if any) management workstations can have write permission for
SNMP variables.
• Obtain director-specific trap information from your local HP sales office to load onto
SNMP management workstations.
